White Noise (2007)

Creating the melody: the foreground world of extensive consumerism, deadly conspiracies and reckless violence.

We live in a world propelled by extensive consumerism where marketing tactics and media bombard, humming under even the rarest of silent moments. Society’s omnipresent noise is a constant reminder of the man made world- a loud band of money, technology and war that never turns off the amps.

One can tune out… Turn to numbness… Even have amnesia, ignoring the chorus they know is building with familiar notes. Others conduct the paranoia and measure public anxiety. Still others are just frustrated and exhausted finding a way to overpower the relentless drone. Or one can just submit to listening. Symptoms of the times.

Inherently, society thrives on using all natural resources its able to get its hands on. Even a resource as abstract, boundless, sacred, simple and as seemingly plentiful as silence. All quiet moments to think end interrupted… WHITE NOISE.
